In the ruling, Judge Chris Piazza of Pulaski County, Arkansas wrote, “It has been over forty years since Mildred Loving was given the right to marry the person of her choice. The hatred and fears have long since vanished and she and her husband lived full lives together; so it will be for the same-sex couples. It is time to let that beacon of freedom shine brighter on all our brothers and sisters. We will be stronger for it.”
Though Attorney General of the state Dustin McDaniel is publicly for lgbt equal rights and marriage equality, he has sworn to stand by the marriage equality ban in in court as this new case and a separate other federal case against Arkansas' ban work their way up the courts.
We shall see what comes about with both cases.
